We are still working with the VRDK at Microsoft Reseach, Cambridge. During the last few months I gave several talks, introducing the VRDK to a wider range of audience. Finally, a lot of people asked me if and when we will release it. Unfortunately, it is not a product rather a research platform.

However, I checked the web and found some articles and weblog entries about the VRDK, written when it was presented to the public the first time.
